I have been tagged and now I have to share personal things about me!

I am saying this because I was tagged by by Stephanie Fierman to participate in a b5media’s meme about 7 (G-rated) things you may not know about me (or care)….so here is my list:

1- I love Blaxploitation films like Coffee, Black Belt Jones, and Dolomite2- I sold my 20,000+ comic book collection because I didn’t want to move them with me into my new house….but I kept my 500+ trade paperbacks.3- I own 12 suits, 45 shirts and 100+ ties and yet I wear jeans and superhero t-shirts everyday4- My two favourite fiction authors are Lee Child and Harlan Coben.5- I fall asleep listening to podcasts6- If I am home alone for dinner I will usually eat cereal.7- I usually read two books a week…and by books I mean real books (business or fiction books)

According to The New York Times, a meme “is an infectious idea or any other thing that spreads by imitation from person to person… the World Wide Web is the perfect Petri dish for memes.” It seems like a 21st century chain letter to me but (a) neither I nor any of my family was threatened with death if I didn’t ‘pass it on,’ so that’s an improvement, and (b) it seems a harmless way to connect with people and to promote websites and blogs not only inside your existing network but to a broader audience, as well. Perhaps memes could be worked into fresh “Refer A Friend” online customer acquisition campaigns.

I tagged email a few folks and told them to participate but I am not going to publicly tag anyone!
